For his third album, Texas-born, Alabama-based singer/songwriter Donnie Ray signed with the Carolina beach music specialists at Ecko Records, a perfect fit for his brand of retro-soul. Ray's music is an ever-so-slight updating of the tropes of '60s and '70s R&B, from the polite funk grooves of "Bang That Thang" to the smooth slow jam "Forever This Love." Playing most of the instruments himself in prime Stevie Wonder fashion, Ray largely keeps true to the sound of his influences rather than leaning too heavily on modern sequencers and click tracks; similarly, the songs betray little influence of anything released after Songs in the Key of Life. However, Ray is only an adequate songwriter, relying too heavily on basic chord progressions and simple melodies under his pleasant but inconsequential lyrics. I'll Be Good to You isn't a bad record, but neither does it measure up to Ray's influences. ~ Stewart Mason

Living Blues (p.65) - "'Bang That Thing' boasts a spiky urgency, goosed by a traps-and timbales rhythm track....'Forever This Love' wafts along in a nostalgic sounding slow-jam groove..."

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Excellent Blues & Soul Disk
Excellent music disk. Good variety of grooves and vocals: Tracks 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9. Another good release from Ecko Records, that gets plenty of airplay at military locations in Europe.

CD $17.15  5 stars Top 500
George Thorogood is forever consistent and Maverick is more of the blues/rock driving sound the journeyman guitarist is known for. John Lee Hooker's "Crawling King Snake" is what you expect from this crew while "Memphis, Tennessee" bursts at the seams with George's trademark slide and Hank Carter's saxophone. Recorded at the legendary Dimension Sound Studio in July of 1984 on the outskirts of Boston, the earthy sound catches all the band's primal energy from opener "Gear Jammer" to the wailing sax of "Long Gone." There are only four originals from Thorogood, the album chock full of Johnny Otis, Chuck Berry, Carl Perkins, John Lee Hooker and others. It is territory that the group has covered on pretty much every previous record, but it's done with the artistic passion that makes it real. The vocal on "What a Price" full of torment, it's a nice contrast to the rocking numbers. ~ Joe Viglione George ...

Audiovent Dirty Sexy Knights In Paris CD  (2002)

CD $8.55  4.2 stars Top 500 Audio Samples (MP3 Available for Download)
Audiovent may boast bloodlines to Incubus (singer Jason is the brother of the latter's frontman Brandon Boyd, while guitarist Ben's older sib is Incubus fretman Mike Einziger), but a complex and melodic approach towards music are the only similarities between the two bands. Throughout their impressive debut DIRTY SEXY KNIGHTS IN PARIS, Audiovent avoids merely cranking up the distortion and instead keeps a steady hand on producing well-crafted hard rock songs. Between drawing from early-'90s grunge influences and working with Goo Goo Dolls producer Gavin McKillop, this California quartet does a fine job of appropriating the loud-soft-loud method of composition; see the sitar-tinged "Rain" and the hard-hitting "Beautiful Addiction," with its subtle, dream-pop guitar. Able to play as loud and hard as any of their ...

Like his last album, From Austin With Soul, this title references both W.C. Clark's Texas home base and his R&B leanings. Once again produced by horn player Mark "Kaz" Kazanoff, who also contributes harmonica, sax, and punchy brass arrangements, this is a classic soul lovers delight. Clark's grease-and-gravy voice is exhilarating, dripping with emotion and changing his inflection ...
